HP LaserJet P1006 Printer

In many ways, the HP LaserJet P1006 printer is an attractive choice as a personal monochrome laser printer. This printer is small and light enough, convenient for use in a home office or a desktop in a larger company. This printer is relatively fast, so you can do the printing quickly. The print quality is good enough for business or personal use. This printer even has a choice of external wired networks and Wi-Fi connected via a USB port, so you can share easily over the web.

Dimensions and Size

The HP LaserJet P1006 printer is small for a laser printer. If one of your main requirements for a printer is that it only takes up a little space, you can go for the P1006. It is smaller and lighter than many inkjet printers at just 7.6 x 13.7 x 8.8 inches and weighs 10.3 pounds.

Print Speed

Unfortunately, its small size makes it only has a capacity of 150 sheets of paper. If you print more than 30 pages per day, you have to fill the paper tray frequently, and this is quite annoying.

On the other hand, the P1006 helps with small-capacity printing with a 10-sheet multipurpose tray, a nice touch on a budget printer. This tray lets you print special paper, such as checks, without removing the standard form from the main tray. This is very helpful if you print on different types of writing.



The P1006's setup is typical for a low-end monochrome laser printer. HP does not provide a printed configuration guide but instead places instructions, including animation, on the installation disc. Some people might find this helpful, it's just a matter of taste and work habits, but HP should provide options and let you choose which one you prefer. The self-installation steps are enormous for you: loading the paper, allowing the printer to install the software, and connecting it with a USB cable when it prompts you.

The HP LaserJet P1006 printer prints 17 pages per minute, which is slow by today's standards, even for personal laser printers, but fast enough not to keep you waiting, and more quickly than most inkjet printers.

Print Quality

Text quality is below the average laser printer but still good enough for most business, school, or personal use – and better than almost anything an inkjet printer can provide. Most fonts are easy to read, both 8-- and 4-point sizes. However, this printer is rather challenging to print 10-point fonts so they are well-formed.

Graphic quality is also typical for a monochrome laser printer, which is good enough for internal business use, including PowerPoint handouts. Among other issues, there is still text in rough form and a tendency for thin lines to disappear, though the P1006 does better with thin lines than many printers. Photo quality is also reasonable and quite competitive with most monochrome laser printers. This printer is good enough for printing web pages with photos or a newsletter that includes photos.
